The run is being held on Sunday, May 13, at Bellahouston Park in Glasgow and is expected to attract thousands of entries.

The East Kilbride ladies are part of a 12-strong ladies ‘Isa’s Angels’ team consisting of friends and family, ranging in age from 18 to 65.

Sharon told the News this week: “The Eve Appeal is a cause close to our hearts.

“Some of the team members have lost family to these cancers and some have relatives who are at present fighting these cancers.

“We are hoping to raise over £400 and through our own Just giving pages linked to our team page Isa's Angels.

“We are delighted with the response so far and have already raised 82 per cent of the target we have set for the event.”

Robert Marsh, chief executive of The Eve Appeal said “We are really grateful to this fantastic team of 12 ladies for this superb support.

“Events like this are so important in spreading the word and raising awareness of gynaecological cancers whilst at the same time raising vital funds for this important research.”

Sharon said the team would be grateful for further sponsorship.

She added: “If you or anyone you know has suffered or indeed lost a family member due to these cancers and you would like to support our team you can do so by texting KSLK96 followed by your donation amount, for example, £5, then text it to 70070 or better still visit the team’s page at www.justgiving.com/teams/ten where you can pledge gift aid and make the money raised go even further.”
